The were a Japanese daimyo clan which rose to prominence during the Sengoku and Edo periods. The clan descend from the Uda Genji through the Sasaki clan .〔Papinot, Jacques. (2003). (''Nobiliare du Japon,'' pp. 27-28. )〕 The name derives from the Kyōgoku quarter of Kyoto during the Heian period.〔Iwao, Seiichi ''et al.'' (2002). ( ''Dictionnaire historique du Japon,'' p. 1704. )〕 The Kyōgoku acted as ''shugo'' (governors) of Ōmi, Hida, Izumo and Oki Provinces in the period before the Ōnin War.〔 A period of decline in clan fortunes was mitigated with the rise of the Tokugawa clan. Members of the clan were daimyo of territories on the islands of Kyūshū and Shikoku during the Edo period.〔 Under the Tokugawa shogunate, the Kyōgoku were identified as ''tozama'' or outsiders, in contrast with the ''fudai'' or insider daimyo clans which were hereditary vassals or allies of the Tokugawa.〔Appert, Georges ''et al.'' (1888). ( ''Ancien Japon,'' p. 76. )〕 At the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate, the Kyōgoku had been enfeoffed at Marugame and Tadotsu in Sanuki, Toyooka in Tajima, and Mineyama Domain in Tango Province. A branch of the Kyōgoku was ranked among the ''kōke''.〔 ==Genealogy== The ''tozama'' Kyōgoku are descended directly from Emperor Uda (868-897) through his grandson Minamoto no Masanobu (920-993).〔Plutschow, Herbert. (1995). ( "Japan's Name Culture: The Significance of Names in a Religious, Political and Social Context,'' pp. 133-134. )〕 They represent a branch of the Sasaki clan who were adopted by the Seiwa Genji.〔 The branches of the ''tozama'' Kyōgoku clan include the following: * The senior branch of this clan are descendants of Kyōgoku Takatsugu (1560–1609). He allied himself with Oda Nobunaga, who arranged for his marriage to his niece. This marriage to the daughter of Asai Nagamasa made Toyotomi Hideyoshi his brother-in-law. Hideyoshi awarded him Ōtsu Castle (60,000 koku) in Omi Province. In 1600, he sided with the Tokugawa at the Siege of Ōtsu; and he received in the same year the fief of Obama (92,000 ''koku'') in Wakasa Province.〔 :Takatsugu's son, Kyōgoku Tadataka (1593–1637), married the fourth daughter of Shogun Tokugawa Hidetada in 1607. Tadataka's revenues were increased gradually over time. In 1634, he was granted Matsue Domain (260,000 ''koku'') in Izumo Province; but he died three years later without leaving any heirs. His holdings reverted to the shogunate.〔Papinot, pp. 27-28; Murdock, James. (1996). ( ''A History of Japan,'' p. 19. )〕 : The bakufu designated Kyōgoku Takakazu, the son of Tadataka's brother Takamasa, to continue the line. Tadakazu was enfeoffed at Tatsuno (50,000 ''koku'') in Harima Province. In 1658, the family was transferred to Marugame in Sanuki Province, where they remained daimyo until the abolition of the han system in 1871. The head of this clan line was ennobled as a viscount in the Meiji period.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kyōgoku clan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
